超声评估颈动脉斑块易损性研究新进展

Advanced Research Progresses in Ultrasound Assessment of Carotid Plaque Vulnerability

缺血性脑卒中很大程度威胁患者生命,其主要是颈动脉斑块不稳定,脱落所致,采取有效手段评估颈动脉斑块的易损性尤为关键。对于易损斑块的诊断,尚无统一标准,超声因其无创、价格低廉、可重复性高等优势已成为评估斑块稳定性重要手段。

Ischemic stroke, mainly caused by vulnerable carotid plaque prone to rupture, threatens the life of patients to a great extent. It is particularly important to take effective measures to assess the vul-nerability of carotid plaque. There is no uniform standard for the diagnosis of vulnerable plaque and ultrasound has played an importance role in the assessment of plaque stability because its of advantages of non-invasive, low cost and high reptoducibility.
